Is there any more you can say about (1) how you know this and/or (2) whether there are reports or books that talk about this at all?

This is the main way: https://www.faa.gov/licenses_certificates/airmen_certification/basic_med https://www.faa.gov/licenses_certificates/airmen_certificati... Lots of old pilots in the general aviation community are on BasicMed.

  FAA studied the results of BasicMed and found no statistically significant differences in crash rate between BasicMed and FAA/AME issued physicals. https://www.faa.gov/sites/faa.gov/files/data_research/research/med_humanfacs/oamtechreports/202118.pdf https://www.faa.gov/sites/faa.gov/files/data_research/resear...

I doubt there are reports. Such is the nature of open secrets. Once they're reported in an official fashion they cease to be "secret" and regulators' hands are forced.

  So you have no personal connection and no knowledge of any particular reports. That doesn't make you wrong, but surely you can understand how reading this and not knowing what you know, this raises every possible red flag for unsubstantiated internet speculation.

    >So you have no personal connection What gives you this idea? >no knowledge of any particular reports. Correct >every possible red flag Hahaha, believe whatever you want to believe. What possible motivation could I have to make this up?

      >What gives you this idea? I mean I asked about this, and at best you are playing coy games by kinda-sorta implying knowledge without owning it when specifically asked. >Hahaha, believe whatever you want to believe. What possible motivation could I have to make this up? I can only say I'm profoundly disappointed on how this response reflects on your information literacy.
